  • Star Spotting: Miley Cyrus And Liam Hemsworth Are Probably Vying For Fittest Couple In The U.S.A. (PHOTO)

    Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth worked on their fitness together in Beverly Hills.

    If you didn't already think Miley Cyrus and fiancé Liam Hemsworth were the cutest (and most attractive) couple ever to walk this planet (check out this photo if you need additional evidence), this photo of the couple leaving Pilates may be all the proof we need. How does that saying go? "The couple that stretches together... has better abs and obliques than everyone else"? I think?

    The newly blonde "Party In The U.S.A." singer and her beau were snapped leaving a Pilates studio in Beverly Hills together, and we have to give the pair major props. Not just because Pilates is THE HARDEST EFFING THING WE'VE EVER DONE (that one time), but also because seeing your significant other's sweat-drenched armpits and not getting grossed out really means you're in love!

    But we're pretty confident that this whole "ready to have a baby quickly" rumor going around about Miley and Liam is completely false. 'Cause if we were ready to pack on pregnancy pounds, there'd be way less painful stretching and a whole lot more stuffing our faces with Cheetos.

  • The Internet Is Sending Pitbull To Alaska. Hope He's Got A Parka! (VIDEO)

    Pitbull is headed to perform in Alaska via internet campaign, and he's ready to rock it!

    Everybody knows that Pitbull is Mr. Worldwide. He kicks off almost every song by reminding you of his willingness to travel. His life as a rap star has taken him all over the globe, but this Miami boy is about to go somewhere cold. Very cold. Yes, Pitbull is headed to the Last Frontier of Alaska.

    It all started with a contest put on by Walmart and Energy Sheets, asking fans to Like the Facebook page of the Walmart location nearest them for a free concert in their town. However, two writers from the humor site Something Awful caught wind of the sweepstakes and rigged it by voting for the most remote place they could think of: Kodiak, Alaska, population: 6130. A month later, the Kodiak location won the contest, thanks to the internet, home of LOLs and cat videos.

    However, a smooth dude like Pitbull is never fazed by internet pranks, and he promised in a video to his fans that he's coming to Alaska, he's going hard and he's going in. "You gotta understand that I will go anywhere in the world for my fans," Pit said. He even invited the pranksters who thought it would be funny to pick Kodiak. Script's been flipped. You gotta admit, Pitbull has definitely got heart. We just hope he has something heavier than a blazer to keep him warm while performing. Thermals, Pitbull. They work.

  • New Song: Dawn Richard, 'Pretty Wicked Things'

    Dawn Richard slinks her way through 'Pretty Wicked Things.'

    We're hard-core Dawn Richard stans around these parts, and our stan-ship has gone into overdrive after hearing her latest track, "Pretty Wicked Things." Formerly of Diddy-Dirty Money fame, Dawn released her solo EP earlier this year called Armor On (FYI, it included the totally bumpin' "Automatic"), and now she's prepping for the release of her full-length debut, Goldenheart. 

    Listen to Dawn Richard's "Pretty Wicked Things" after the jump. 

    Co-penned by Dawn's longtime collaborator Druski, "Pretty Wicked Things" is our first sampling of Dawn's new sound. The record is a sultry, slinky dance jam that speaks of a love turned sour. In her own words, Dawn explains: "It's the story of the beautiful things in life that get ruined by the wicked." Dawn's also clear on the fact that "Pretty Wicked Things" isn't her first single. Rather, according to Dawn, who spoke to RapRadar, "We are introducing the setup to Goldenheart with the release of 'Pretty Wicked Things.' This isn't a single. It's a setup. We have a lot of surprises for the hearts. Grow with us." We totally will, Dawn! Too bad we can't literally grow with you and actually look like you, but we'll take anything we can get.

  • New Song: Elle Varner, 'I Don't Care'

    Elle Varner loses it over a dude on her new tune, 'I Don't Care.'

    After the wild success of Elle Varner's "Only Wanna Give It To You" and "Refill," the R&B songstress has returned with a new record called "I Don't Care." Slated to appear as the third single off her forthcoming album, Perfectly Imperfect, "I Don't Care" is a slow jam at its finest and serves as the perfect canvas over which Elle can do her thing. It's also an incredible song to make out to, not that I know from personal experience.

    Over a lilting, sexy track courtesy of production duo Pop & Oak, Elle declares that she's completely lost her effing mind over a dude (haven't we all, doll?). "I could just stay all day/ Lay there and melt away/ I'm such a helpless case, case, case/ I've done away with my pride/ They say I'm out of my mind/ Can't even say it's a lie," Elle confesses over the track. Not to worry! You just go right on ahead and be an emotional wreck. We've all been there, and just think of it as inspiration for your second album. (Ahem, Adele.)

    Make sure to cop Elle's Perfectly Imperfect when it drops on Aug. 7.

  • Azealia Banks, Ellie Goulding, The XX + More: 5 Must-Hear Pop Songs of the Week

    It's Tuesday! Time for another round of "5 Must-Hear Pop Songs of the Week"!

    This week's roundup includes two bad (in the good way!) rapstresses hailing from the North and the South, a taste of what's to come from an indie-pop princess, a dream-pop troupe and a dance floor diva gone DIY.

    1.) Azealia Banks, "Esta Noche"

    After unleashing her sensational debut 1991 EP back in the end of May, the ever-smiley, Harlem-bred rapstress and MTV PUSH artist Azealia Banks returned just a few short weeks later with the "Fantasea" mixtape, a 19-track collection of ferocious new cuts, old favorites, silly skits and covers. One of my instant favorites of the bunch -- along with the ballroom-friendly "Fierce" -- is "Esta Noche," a delicious midtempo groove built around Munchi's "Esta Noche," which samples Montell Jordan's "Get It On Tonite." Now, I'm fairly certain a Montell Jordan sample alone makes the song's brilliance self-explanatory, but it only gets better as the track suddenly dips into an arms-up assault of squealing synthesizers and Azealia lays down the business. "Drink in my hand, hand on my chip/A vamp b**** do it like this," Banks declares. Who else can do it like this, seriously?

    + LISTEN TO AZEALIA BANKS, "ESTA NOCHE" (NSFW lyrics)

    2.) Wynter Gordon, "Giving In"

    A few weeks ago, Wynter Gordon announced to Billboard that she was temporarily taking some time off from the dance floor to work on a passion project called The Human Condition. The endeavor will include four EPs released over the next year inspired by a wealth of unexpected genres -- including Celtic (!). Early last week, the NYC-based songstress unveiled Doleo, the stunning first EP from the project. "Giving In," the lead song on the eight-track collection, is a brilliant departure from Gordon's standard club-pop affair and a perfect example of what Wynter's foray into the unknown sounds like. "After you feel it/ you're never the same again," she sensually purrs above a dreamy guitar line reminiscent of The xx, and breathy vocals recalling an indie Kylie Minogue. As for the rest of the experimental EP, it's further proof for my ongoing hypothesis: Wynter Gordon is incapable of doing anything wrong, ever.

    + LISTEN TO WYNTER GORDON, "GIVING IN"

    3.) Ellie Goulding featuring Tinie Tempah, "Hanging On"

    While the title track from her 2010 debut Lights has been rapidly climbing on U.S. radio in the past few weeks (two years later, go figure!), indie-pop princess Ellie Goulding has been busy tinkering away in the studio with the likes of Skrillex carving out the sound of her long-awaited follow-up. "Hanging On," a cover/rework of Active Child's 2011 album track, is the first taste of what's to come. Crooning on top of brooding synths, wicked dubstep-infused beats and even some harp, Ellie delivers a heavier sound than ever before. "I just can't keep hanging on to you and me," the angel-voiced U.K. songstress painfully emotes over the breaking beats. Between this and her cover of The Weeknd's "High For This" from earlier this year, Goulding's cooking up something seriously dark and delicious.

    + LISTEN TO ELLIE GOULDING FEATURING TINIE TEMPAH, "HANGING ON"

    4.) Khia, "Turn You Out"

    Everyone knows that when Queen Khia (Thug Misses if we're being proper) releases an album, the world briefly begins to spin a little faster from the sheer amount of haters running scared in the opposite direction. Mercifully, Khia is back four years after her last offering with MotorMouf, a selection of naughty seductions ("Been A Bad Girl"), sass attacks ("Fix Yo Face") and sweetly sung odes to her favorite anatomy. "Turn You Out" is but one of the many gems on the record, which finds the Queen of the South tackling traditional gender roles and societal expectations -- all while getting freaky in bed. "Sometimes I f*** like a girl/ sometimes I f*** like a boy," she chants. As the song goes on, the tempo speeds up and slows back down at a dizzying pace. You see, she's serving you a slow jam and a booty dropper all at the same time, proving Khia really does just want to turn you out.

    + LISTEN TO KHIA, "TURN YOU OUT" (NSFW lyrics)

    5.) The xx, "Angels"

    Speaking of The xx, it's been more than two years since the indie dream-pop troupe dropped their most recent single from the unbelievably amazing self-titled 2009 debut. But earlier this week, the talented troupe released "Angels," the lead single from their upcoming follow-up, Coexist. Unlike the "club" influence that Jamie XX insisted their next record would have, the song is as lush and softly sung as the entirety of their debut. "Every day, I am learning about you/ The things that no one else sees," lead singer Romy sweetly sings on the gorgeous, lovey-dovey number. Begin swooning now.

    + LISTEN TO THE XX, "ANGELS"

    Bradley Stern is a writer from Connecticut. In his spare time, he enjoys organizing his Britney Spears CD collection in reverse chronological order and plotting the various ways in which he will bring down Katy Perry to become Rihanna's best friend. But most of all, he spends his time tweeting musing daily about pop music on his blog, MuuMuse.

  • New Video: Ca$h Out Featuring Yung Swift, 'Turn Up'

    Ca$h Out's shows off his cars (obvs) in his latest clip, 'Turn Up.'

    Southern party rapper/ wordsmith Ca$h Out took a break from giving away gift cards (yes, he lives up to his name) to drop a video for "Turn Up," one of the standouts from his recent "In My Time" mixtape. Thanks to the likes of Future, 2 Chainz and Juicy J (get your "Turn Up"-branded freeze cups here; they come in packs of six or 12), we can add another ode to this summer's rallying cry of a million Instagram accounts. If you have a few hours, browse the more than 95,000 photos with the #turnup hashtag. Not a lot of surprises there, but it's pretty amusing; more photos of seafood than I would've expected, though.

    Watch Ca$h Out's "Turn Up" video featuring Young Swift after the jump.

    Future's "Tony Montana" producer Will-A-Fool returns to his spaced-out trap sounds for this one, making me wish this video took place in some interstellar strip club halfway between here and Pluto. Because conceptually, the most interesting part of the clip is Ca$h's Florida Miami Marlins hat with two different animal prints on the brim. (Want.) Though lyrically, Ca$h Out does actually surprise us with a few clever football team punch lines. Best of all, he gets a great guest verse from the up-and-coming Yung Swift, currently on the bench for Def Jam, who has come close but is still looking for a hit. Looks like he may have one now.

  • Frank Ocean Poses For Terry Richardson (PHOTO)

    Frank Ocean opens up for Terry Richardson.

    Frank Ocean's been a tad busy as of late. In between bravely revealing personal details about his sexuality, being championed by Beyoncé and releasing his hotly anticipated Channel Orange album one week early, Frank found time to pose for famous photog Terry Richardson. After his candid revelation, Frank's been the subject of a lot of chatter among the hip-hop community, most recently 50 Cent who decreed, "Anyone that has an issue with Frank Ocean is an idiot." (FYI, we agree.)

    See more Frank Ocean photos from his Terry Richardson shoot after the jump.

    Though Terry's known around these parts for his chillingly naturalistic photos of 30 Second To Mars' Jared Leto, and, more notoriously, for his close relationship with Kate Upton, his Frank Ocean photos were simple, unadorned and classic. Terry even managed to wrangle Frank away from his signature headband, and also got him to smile. But then again, if Beyoncé crafted a poem for us, and we got to collaborate with Andre 3000 in the same month, we'd be grinning 24/7 too.

    Frank Ocean's first studio album, Channel Orange, is available in stores today.

  • New Video: Lil Wayne Featuring Big Sean, 'My Homies Still'

    Lil Wayne, with the help of Big Sean, brings the weird to the suburbs in 'My Homies Still.'

    Not content with letting Odd Future be the only rap crew terrorizing the suburbs, Lil Wayne packs up any loose YMCMB-er's just hanging around the pool, and hits the cul-de-sac for a cartoonish bath salts trip in the video for "My Homies Still." Just like the ludicrously NSFW first verse, this video goes from zero to full-on Pee Wee Herman mania pretty damn fast. Lil Wayne party-rocking up and down the block (in what could only be described as a criminal amount of zebra-patterned attire) is already a lot to deal with. Now throw in a real live, Banksy-style pink elephant, white mannequins strewn over people's lawn like a psycho high-school prank, a dog switching heads with its owner (why not?), and a dinner party where the animals eat people. This video is really starting to harsh my mellow.

    Watch Lil Wayne's "My Homies Still" video featuring Big Sean after the jump.

    Lil Wayne is no stranger when it comes to "borrowing" imagery for his videos, and I'm sure this one is chock-full of such interpretation (feel free to school us if you'd like). Aside from the obvious "Rella" influence and Supreme hat, the only one that stands out to me is DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince's "Summertime" video, when Big Sean shows up chilling in some mobile lawn furniture for two whole verses (but this sounds more like a Big Sean track anyway, so at least Wayne got his money's worth). If you're looking for a fun-for-the-whole-family activity that includes watching the "My Homies Still" video, I suggest you hit mute on Tunechi and put on the Benny Hill theme. Here, I did it for you (sorry about the curses, that's fun for like no families). And this should be family fun. Lil Wayne brought his daughter (from when he wasn't "Always Strapped") with him, as well as his own daddy who brings his patented "Birdman hand rub" with him, which makes any video worth the price of admission.

  • New Video: No Doubt, 'Settle Down'

    Watch as No Doubt reunite in their "Settle Down" video.

    PRAISE! No Doubt's video for "Settle Down" has finally arrived, and it's one of the most beautiful things we've seen in a hot minute. We're talking ZERO FLAWS here, guys. As we already mentioned, the video was slated to feature a heartwarming reunion scene between all of the band members, and may we just say it did NOT disappoint.

    Watch No Doubt's "Settle Down" video after the jump. 

    At the top of the clip, we see each of the four band members hop into a sick ride and drive from all corners of the world to reunite with one another. Per the clip's director, Sophie Muller: "The idea is they are all driving to meet after having had their separate lives over the last 10 years." Symbolism at its finest, my friends. Once the band lands at the meeting spot, they hop out, hug and start a world-class rager to celebrate their homecoming. Naturally, the band parties and performs atop of 18-wheeler trucks, and the entire thing becomes a wild street hangout that perfectly caters to the song's reggae-tinged party vibe. In sum, the ideal clip in honor of the rejoining together of the best band ever. Oh, and do yourself a favor and take a quick peek at Gwen's face, which looks identical to the way it did in the "Don't Speak" video. No aging, no wrinkles, now a mom of TWO. You do the math.

  • Star Spotting: Katy Perry Hits The Roller Rink!

    Katy Perry and Shannon Woodward manage to look stunning while roller-skating.

    Usually when we roller-skate, we have a look of terror on our face. Either because we're about to fall down, or because we realize one can rarely look attractive while trying to stand on eight wheels. (Take a second to think about that last one.) However, even while supporting herself on eight wheels and helping bestie Shannon Woodward stay up, Katy Perry still manages to look like a golden goddess having the best time of her life.

    The "Wide Awake" singer was snapped with her BFF as they went roller-skating yesterday. Along with the adorable pic, Shannon tweeted, "Couples Skate!" to which Katy added, "Babysitters club BFF circa 1994." Not sure if you guys are as well-versed in "Baby-Sitters Club" fiction as I am, but props to Katy Perry for remembering THIS very special work of fiction. Way to keep it retro, ladies.
